A Rich Poor Man.

There is a mar in this city worth about
80 900, who can neither read nor write
and who cannot count money with a great
degree of accuracy. He has accumulated
his compel ency by fortunate investments
in real estate and at present owns several
blocks in various portions of the city,
A gentleman once approached the illit
crate but shrewd capitalist for the avowed
purpose of purchasing a couple of lots
from him. He inquired of the owner the
price of the property in question and re-
ceived the following ambiguous but char
acteristic reply: "ll take $1,000 for
the two. The corner lot is the best and if
1 sold it separate l wouldn't take less
than $500 for it."
The man is employed by the Union Pa.
cifc in this city and has been for years.
His salary is S75 per month and his duties
correspondingly arduous. In appearance
he is an ordinary laborer and the casual
observer would never suspect hat the
modest and unassuming mar attired in
greasy clothes was in a fair way to be-
come one of the wealthiest men in the
West.

ELSH DIES,
The Paralytic Tramp Expires In the
hospital.

VIM. Welsh, the paralytic tramp who
was removed from the city Jail
to the county hospital at the
instance of this journal, died in that in,
stitutiOn because of economical brutality
on the part OF his fellow men.
The man was simply murdered by the
inhumanity of the civil authorities east of
this city and the officers of the municipal
and county government are not entirely
blameless in the matter. Had the man
been placed in a clean bed and furnished
with nourishing food when his case was
first called to the attenti N of the public
by THE LEADER his life would have been
prolonged, if not saved. As it was he
was removed to better quarters in the
city jail and visited by several charitable
ladies'.
Yesterday morning it was evident that
the man was sinking rapidly. His
emaciated features bore no sign of pain;
and while he apparently retained the use
of his mental faculties he paid no atten-
ton to events transpiring in his sick
room. An officer searched in vain for
the county physician, and finally called in
DIR. Corey. who prescribed for poor
Walsh and purchased medicine for him.
He was assisted in administering to the
unfortunate by Mrs. H. Drake, Of the
Woman's Relief Corps. The sick man
was utterly helpless, extremely filthy, and
the stencil rising from his body as he was
moved in his miserable bed was almost I'M
bearable. The unselfsh efforts of DR..
Corey and Mrs. Drake to relieve his suf-
ferings merit much praise.
About an hour before disso
luton DR.. Marston, county
physician, ordered that he be
taken to the county hospital. Nothing is
known of the deceased beyond the fact
that he claims to have hailed from New
York. and to have two sisters in Califor-
mia. His remains will probably be placed
in a cheap coffin and buried in the plot
in the cemetery reserved for the inter.
ment of paupers. The affairs of men
will go on just the same as ever, and
county officials will continue to forward
paupers to ''the next town" in order to
save a few paltry dollars which might be
expended in the care of ar unfortunate
being.

DISAPPOINTED HUNTERS.
One Party Bags the Game While the
Other is Walking.

Master Mechanic Durrell, of the Union
Pacific shops, aided and abetted by a trio
of kindred spirits, played a very clever
practical Joke upon Mr.. Cole and another
machinist yesterday morning.
A couple of boys visited the machine
shops and informed several of the work
men that a large flock OF wild ducks were
feeding in a pond near the Wyoming
Meat company's establishment southeast
OF the city. Now Cole is an enthusiastic
sportsman, and will willingly walk ten
miles in order to secure a shot. When
he learned that a flock of fat Mallards
were sporting on the surface OF the pond
he felt an irresistible hankering to shout
der his fowling piece and wander over in
that direction. A fellow workman who is
also known as a mighty hunter, likewise
desired to bag a few of the feathered beau
ties, and after debating upon the merits of
their respective guns and dogs for a few
minutes the pair applied to the good
natured master mechanic for a short leave
OF absence, stating to Mr.. Durrell, who
enjoys the pleasures of the chase himself,
the substance of the good news which the
boy was circulating concerning the plenti-
fulness of ducks.
After shouldering their guns and un-
teaching their trained dogs the twain
started down Grow creek, having con-
Guided to proceed to the pond in a round
about direction, and hoping to secure a
shot at any misguided bird which might
be feeding in one of the numerous little
pools along the creek.
The tramp to the pond was uneventful,
and the hunters were confident that a
harvest awaited them upon reaching their
objective point.
In the meantime Durrell and a couple
of friends had also taken a leave of alb
sence for the purpose of bagging a few
ducks. and had fastened to the pond at
once.
Cole and his companion were char
grined and surprised upon stealthily
rounding a hill near the duck resort indi-
Gated by the boy, to come upon the mas
ter mechanic and his party, who had evil
IDENTIFY been laying in wait for the APP
preaching pair, literally loaded down with
ducks.
OF course Cole and his companion were
greatly disappointed. but the successful
hunters presented them with a share of
the game, and despite the guying of their
shop mates the unlucky nimrods Joined
in the hearty laugh over the affair.

Ia, Ia, Howard.

With the consent of the injured parties,
Howard Halverson, the se~lf-confessed
sneak thief, was allowed. as suggested by
THE LEADER yesterday, to peacefully
shake the dust OF Cheyenne from his feet
last evening.
Halverson was at one time a respected
citizen of this community. He was en-
gagged in a lucrative and honorable bust
ness and bid fair to become a useful mem,
Der of society. His downfall is a mystery
to many who knew him intimately. 1t
can only be ascribed to mans dupl city
and woman's worse than weakness. 1t is
said that his wife persuaded him to en-
bark in the saloon business and encour-
aged him to gamble and that her desire to
have him shine among the fancy" led to
their separation.
The man is not without coed qualities,
and it is hoped he will engage in some
legitimate pursuit and once more occupy
the respectable position among men
which was his less than W years ago.
